HI! :hi: It's been awhile since I've been on here. Wanted to finally post an update. I finally got into a pain clinic :woohoo: My doctor there is incredible so far (I've only had two visits). She has put me on Neurontin and has given me a prescription for Norco for emergency pain. She also gave me a TENS unit and Lidocane patches for the abdominal pain. I also have xanax if I need it. I have a whole arsenal now for my pain and a doctor who actually cares and understands. I still have pain and flares but they have been much better with the exception of one flare(that only lasted one night). Unfortunately, I still can't do too much or the pain gets worse, but hopefully the longer I'm on the medicine the better it will be. My doctor just uped my dosage of neurontin to 4 pills a day, she said that should help even more. So, we'll see! I am very hopeful--finally! :)
